As kids we were out riding bikes on the pathways of the golf course when a big storm came up. We were smart enough to crowd into a lightning shelter. It looked like a bus stop with open sides. The important thing is it had a tall lighting rod on top of the shelter. A bolt hit that rod 3 feet over our head. I vividly remember the hair on our heads stood up and then the world exploded. The sound and the bright light was intense. We were all deafened and the smell of ozone was bad. The lightning rod was melted but we were all fine. I never want to be that close to that much power again.
